Ingredients

5 lasagna noodles

1/2 pound ground beef

1/4 cup each chopped onion, green pepper and fresh mushrooms

1 jar (14 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce

1 egg, beaten

3/4 cup ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1.Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion, green pepper and mushrooms over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, combine the egg, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley and Italian seasoning. Drain noodles.

2. Spread 1/4 cup meat sauce in a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan. Trim noodles to fit pan. Place two noodles over meat sauce; layer with a third of the cheese mixture, a third of the remaining meat sauce and 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers twice, using noodle trimmings in top layer. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
